    Thanks Capt. Kelso, I'm guessing the Model Shipways instructions are far more detailed than the Bluejacket?

    Thanks palmerit, I've had my eye on the Vanguard Ranger, but would ideally like something a little smaller and cheaper to start out with.

    I'm a beginner who's looking to purchase a few simple wooden model boat kits. I've seen on this forum that there are dozens of build logs for the various dory models made by the likes of Model Shipways, Midwest, Bluejacket, etc. I'm curious to hear what you guys think is the most well-rounded entry-level dory kit on the market based on quality of wood and other materials, clarity and accuracy of instructions, ease of construction, etc. I am willing to pay a premium for a model that is well designed and accompanied by excellent instructions and good quality materials, so I am especially curious to hear your thoughts on whether you feel the greater cost of the Bluejacket dory kits compared to the Model Shipways and Midwest kits is justifiable because of these reasons. Thank you for your responses.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
